Founders and owners of Eladam
SA de CV, a Mexican joint-stock company operating under the name of
"Cave Heaven".
Having done our cave training
in northern Florida, we came to the Riviera Maya in the Yucatan
Peninsula of Mexico to dive the incredible underwater cave formations
of this region. We are instructors for UTD (Cave Diver and cave
specialties) and NSS-CDS (Full Cave) and, when not guiding certified
cave divers or teaching, we dive for fun in the cave systems of the
Riviera Maya.
We decided to pursue our
instructor rating with the NSS-CDS, which required a two year period of
internship assisting other instructors so as to gain experience. We were mentored by some of the best cave
instructors and explorers of the Riviera Maya and Florida. We then studied and trained to become UTD instructors,
again no easy shortcuts!
There are certainly easier and faster ways of
becoming a cave instructor, but we wanted to be fully prepared for the
demands of teaching cave diving at the highest levels.
